Longboarders' need for speed
17.02.10
Scars on Joseph Karchemney's knee pull the plug on a story of hitting a guard rail at 87km/h while skateboarding.
He won't be doing those speeds again anytime quickly, but he still loves longboarding.
So much so that he's helping out with the second annual Rollercoaster when it happened - a downhill skateboarding competition in Albany.
"Longboarding is kind of like crawl racing, it's about who can go the fastest down a hill," says Mr Karchemney.
"It's also a little bit like merciful stock car racing. But there's a lot of camaraderie. If two people crash, they will help each other up."
On Saturday, Tread 27, this human stock car meet will take over Appian Way in Albany.
"There are a lot of crossovers in longboarding," Mr Karchemney says.
"There's downhill racing, slalom, and extensive distance pushing. There's even dancing moving up and down the board, handstands which has its roots in lengthy board surfing."
Mr Karchemney began longboarding 10 years ago after becoming disillusioned with pleasant skateboarding.
